View Full Version : Partial View Template Hack-Need Some Additional Help

09-07-2000, 02:30 PM
Ok here is what I have so far.

In your template.php file look for

<a href=\"template.php?action=remove&templateid=$template[templateid]\">[delete]</a>

and add:

<a href=\"template.php?action=view&templateid=$template[templateid]\" target=_blank>[view]</a>

right after it.

then add right below the

// ###################### Start modify #######################

subroutine add:

// ####################### View ########################

if ($action=="view") {

$templates=$DB_site->query("SELECT templateid,title,template FROM template WHERE templateid=$templateid");
$template=$DB_site->fetch_array($templates);
echo "<html><TITLE>$bbtitle - View Templates</title></head><body>";
echo "<center>Template File Name: $template[title]";
echo "<p><hr><p>";
echo "<table border=0 width=\"100%\"><td>";
echo "$template[template]";
echo "</td></table></center>";
echo "</body></html>";

}

This will pull the template up into another page. Now what I need help with is getting the other templates like $cssinclude, $headertemplate, etc. into this area so it will show up on the new page.

Any ideas?

I guess im missing your point here. You want to actualy display the value for $cssinclude on the new template page you are opening or you just want to display "$cssinclude" ?? Either way I really dont get the point??

Why not just add this line:

<a href=\"template.php?action=edit&templateid=$template[templateid]\" target=_blank>[view]</a>

I am wanting to see what the template would look like before I use it on the forum pages. That way I can edit the content before I submit it and make it changes before hand. Right now it is text based and it would be nice to see it as a member would see it.

I am wanting to include all the variables in the view sub.

If it helps any...im sure your going to have to require global.php from the main forum directory in that new if somewhere.....and then to a gettemplate()...

Maybe something like this?
[code]
if ($action=="view") {
require("/full/path/to/global.php");
$templates=$DB_site->query("SELECT templateid,title,template FROM template WHERE templateid=$templateid");
$template=$DB_site->fetch_array($templates);

eval("echo dovars(\"".gettemplate("$template[title]")."\");");

}

Ill try to play with it some more when I get home

-Chris:

That did it. Although I created a file called viewtemplate.php and put it in my main directory.

So I have:

<?php

require("global.php");

// ## View ###

if ($action=="view") {

$templates=$DB_site->query("SELECT templateid,title,template FROM template WHERE templateid=$templateid");
$template=$DB_site->fetch_array($templates);

eval("echo dovars(\"".gettemplate("$template[title]")."\");");

}

?>

And then in my template.php file I use

<a href=\"/forum/viewtemplate.php?action=view&templateid=$template[templateid]\" target=_blank>[view]</a>

It really makes it nice to see what the page is going to look like before you upload it.

Thanks,
Parker
